Allergic reaction

Singapore: A 31-year-old man died on Monday following complications after undergoing gastric band surgery.

Also known as lap band surgery, it is only available to people who are very overweight and who have not responded to changes in diet, exercise regimen and medication.

Mr Tay, a martial arts instructor and tour bus driver, weighed 176 kilogrammes and was diabetic.

He first went for gastric band surgery in March this year and suffered an allergic reaction to the band.
